Lucia, a new upcoming audience funded movie directed by Pawan Kumar , has stirred interest for many people in many aspects: from fund raising to marketing, talent hunt to distribution the list goes on and on. Those who have been following Pawan’s updates either on his Facebook Page or the blog will definitely understand what I am talking about here. Several things are being experimented in this movie & to support this initiative the least we could do was to pre-order the movie and become official distributors. As we have pre-ordered the movie, yesterday, we got our official copy of Lucia Songs. I must admit that I was really pleased and happy to see an email from the Lucia team with the link to the music album. Not very often do we, people living overseas, get to listen to Kannada songs the day audio is released. Even if we are ready to buy, it is really hard to find them unless you are physically present in Karnataka. In that aspect, I am really very very happy! Thanks to Lucia team. I spent few hours listening to these songs yesterday night so I thought I will share my personal views about the album. I am not an expert musician or a critic; these are my opinions as an ardent fan of Kannada songs. 1. ‘Hi Schoolu’ – This is the first song in album. Lyrics are narrative in style and do contain some cynical/mocking dialogues. Felt that there is some influence of Yograj Bhat & Harikrishna duo. Heard it couple of times but certainly not my favourite. 2. ‘Jamma Jamma’ – Ah! I had watched the making of this song number of times so was waiting to listen to the official & complete version. It just lived up to my expectations. Naveen’s voice is raw and just suits perfectly. A foot tapping number which, I feel, people will surely enjoy. Loved this song! 3. ‘Nee Thoreda’ – Ever since I had heard ‘Nee maayeyolago, maaye ninnolago’ line, I so wanted to listen to this. Very soothing music, awesome lyrics, Lovely rendition. Certainly one of the best in the album. 4. ‘Thinbeda’ – Needless to say, this is THE song which Lucia team has promoted the most I guess. It has lot of folk elements in it. Not everybody can pronounce those words with folk accent so clearly. I think Poorna Chandra has done a good job here! There is a duet version of this song, but I prefer the solo. 5. ‘Yako Baralilla’ –Even I think Naveen’s voice has a lot of innocence as Pawan Kumar has mentioned in Jamma Jamma making video. It is a slow number with meaningful lyrics. Beautiful composition. Enjoyed listening to Naveen. These are my views based purely on listening to the songs and not having watched the movie or the videos. Sometimes you start liking some of them only after watching the movie. All in all, I can say it is not a typical Kannada movie album, with one song sung by Sonu, one by Shreya and one long macchu song. It is very different! Highlight of the album is Pawan Kumar’s new find singer, Naveen. His voice is not very polished unlike other play back singers which suits these songs perfectly. Music Director Poorna has done a good job in his debut album. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends who are always looking for variety & good Kannada songs produced, directed and sung by Kannadigas! All the best to the Lucia team!
